I have had really good results with Hornaday over the last few years.

This is an old thread but very relevant to my current state of affairs. I recently bought a Remington 870 Police shotgun, new, and discovered that the barrel has the tiniest amount of wiggle to it, drove me crazy that this expensive shotgun has some wiggle in it's very expensive barrel but an inquiry on the Remington forum garnered responses that stated this is normal in many 870's.

I then checked my new Mossberg 590A1 and same thing, and I posed the same question on the Mossberg forum and my local forum, same responses, some people had the wiggle on their 590's, some didn't.

Though I have NOT yet bought an Ithaca, I asked this same question on this forum and some respondents have stated that a tiny amount of wiggle is normal in these guns with removable barrels, some have it, some don't. I have not yet bought an Ithaca 37, though...

You are going to have some play in any take down design. If you are worried about play, Ithaca offered fixed barrel defense style shot guns.
